Despite this, however, the impact of graduate student mentoring is criticalto their mentees' future academic and career trajectories [4], [9]. Much of the research literaturehas reasoned that two main goals of effective graduate student mentoring in engineeringeducation are guiding undergraduates in technical research and laboratory techniques andproviding mentees with social support [3], [9], [10]. These goals hold true for graduate studentsand postdoctoral

To be fair, some faculty might havenever worked in industry or did any consulting work in his/her career, they may not have theproper training or experience to collaborate and work directly with the industry leaders.For the industry sponsors [13,14,15], they usually determine the project charter and the expecteddeliverables at the beginning of the semester. Unfortunately, without much interaction with thefaculty mentor, some sponsors might even treat the student team as an unpaid, remote internor co-op.
